03/02/2012 Homo erectus & Pyro technology The Homo erectus lineage consisted of the first human beings that controlled fire‚ or pyro technology‚ to sustain life. In this case fire was their lifeline‚ and without it there may not have been the continuation of human life as we know it. Physical evidence of fire making preserved at early sites of Homo erectus caves proved they were able to contain and control the flames. Origins of fire making are speculated from many hypotheses of archaeologists

Building on what Homo Erectus achieved before‚ Homo Sapiens challenged the very notion of adaptation through advanced tool use‚ social-cultural evolution and group dynamics. Homo Sapiens are among the first human species to overcome many of nature’s obstacles with advanced tool use. Along with the evolution of mental facilities came much technological innovation which aided the succession of the species by allowing ease of living. The invention and refinement of advanced weaponry and tools such as

We‚ homo sapiens‚ are the sole survivors of a long lineage of hominins. Why we beat our contemporaries is not precisely explained but many theories support the notion that our physical build (endurance running); diet (omnivores of fish‚ insects‚ meat and vegetables); ability to adapt (sewing and tools from animal bones) and innovate in new environments (migration to all regions‚ not just Europe); and‚ intellect for conveying thought and meaning‚ set us apart from our competitor cousins. As we look

"The term homo sapiens is a misnomer." -Mr. Alex Sapiens means "wise man" in Latin‚ and refers to humans’ exceptional ability to think and reason‚ compared to all the other animal species. Are we humans as smart as we are made out to be‚ though? Human intelligence’s superiority strongly depends on what it is being compared to. In the past‚ people have made absurd mistakes and said things that make us feel ashamed to even call ourselves one of the same species. For example‚ the Catholic church used

Homo Sapiens are members of the family Hominidae‚ as well as Chimpanzees‚ Orangutans and Gorillas. Out of this Hominidae classification‚ it is thought that the closest relative to the Homo Sapien is the Chimpanzee‚ both possessing the same common ancestor. This is due to large similarities between the two species. Although there is a large amount of similarities‚ the differences between Chimpanzees and Homo Sapiens are what defines each species as their own. In this paper I am going to focus on the

Neanderthal being the last species just before the Homo sapiens. As such‚ they are believed to be very close relatives to Homo sapiens. They are believed to have existed between 200‚000 – 30‚000 years ago (Andrea‚ Alfred J et al. p. 173). This species is said to bear several characteristics which are similar to the modern man due to their closeness chronologically. In fact‚ some evidence claims that the Neanderthal species is a subspecies of the Homo sapiens. As the human species evolved‚ their characteristics
